What I’m Into (August 2013 Edition)

September 6, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I’m a bit late with this but better late than never, right? It’s been a long and busy day (I’ll blog about it later) so this edition of “What I’m Into” may be a bit light on elaboration. Celebrations This month we celebrated the life of my dear uncle. David, my mom and I flew to…

New Orleans is…

August 29, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Eight years ago today the world watched New Orleans drown and thus began the “should it be rebuilt” refrain. Fortunately the people of New Orleans don’t much care what others think so they doggedly set about putting their city back together, one house, one restaurant, one bar at a time. Those who call New Orleans…

Ten things I’ve learned from New Orleans

August 31, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I’ve been praying for those affected by Hurricane Isaac, especially those who are reliving the emotional trauma left over from Katrina. I’m sure it brings back a lot of terrible memories. However, when I first started thinking about my annual Katrina anniversary post a couple of weeks ago, I decided I was going to focus…

Six Years Ago…

September 7, 2011 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

(Photo by Deanna Piercy) Each year on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina I have written a post about it (links at the end of this post). Obviously this one is rather late. David and I were in Oklahoma City celebrating my birthday and since then I’ve either been too busy or just lacking in direction…

Memory Lane Monday – New Orleans

August 31, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

In April of 2006, David and I made our first trip back to New Orleans post-Katrina.  I well remember the mix of emotions as our plane touched down at the Louis Armstrong airport.  I was so happy to be returning to the city of my soul, especially since I had wondered if that would ever…

I think I’ll dance…

March 30, 2010 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

One of my absolute favorite things to do while in New Orleans is to simply hang out in Jackson Square and enjoy the street performers, especially the musicians. During our last trip, we needed to kill a couple of hours between the time we checked out of our condo and when our room would be…

Four Years Ago…

August 28, 2009 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

Yesterday was my birthday and what a day it was! I was so touched by all the many birthday wishes friends were leaving on my Facebook page and began replying to each individually. Apparently I reached some unknown activity limit and Facebook decided to wish me a happy birthday by disabling my account. Lovely. It…

Three Years Ago…

August 29, 2008 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Three years can pass in the blink of an eye or it can feel like an eternity. And sometimes it can feel like both at the same time, although that doesn’t seem to make sense. It’s hard to imagine that it’s been a little over three years since our daughter got married. Three years of…

One Year Ago Today… (note: I wrote this August 29th, one year after Hurricane Katrina. I was in California at the time and unable to access my blog so here it is, a bit late.) Certain events touch us in such a way that they leave an indelible mark on our souls. Those are the…
